Ouch, looks like the genus name "Gen" (as in "Gen. sp." as in "we've no idea what this is") has bene interpreted as an actual genus name, and somehow this has been placed in Animalia - Myxozoa - Myxosporea - Bivalvulida - Parvicapsulidae. This "taxon" has a lot of occurrences https://www.gbif.org/species/8573140

I'm guessing this is a simple fix (and why do data providers insist on putting placeholder values in their data...?)

A case for a blacklist we always wanted to add. Unfortunately hard to detect for a name parser. The "species" Gen.nov. sp.nov. is luckily kept out of the backbone
